A strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept. For some, it takes a while to find your passion and that’s perfectly okay. Personally, I’ve been struggling lately to figure out what my passion is and how to find it. I’ll be going off to college soon, and I don’t have any idea what my passion is. However, I stumbled upon a quote recently that read: “If you’re contemplating on finishing something or doing something because of how long it’ll take, remember, you...

Pull Up to My Bumper (Things To Do When You Have a Car Wreck) Some time ago, I had the misfortune of finding someone “pulling up to my bumper”, thereby, causing a car wreck! While they did not do a “Grace Jones” on me, they did cause injury to me and they did do damage to my car! From that experience, I developed a checklist of things to do when you have a car wreck. That checklist is as follows: (1) Always stop your car and leave it where it is until the law says move it. (2) If someone is hurt, give assistance only if you are medically qualif...
Joshua 23:14-16 Many good works are being done in our country. Most of us have an abundance of food, clothing, and shelter. Through Social Security, Medicare, and private insurance, many qualify for assistance in time of need. Many that are employed are paid copious wages. We should praise The Great God of heaven, and his Son Jesus for all these blessings. Now if we continue to make laws that's God's order, and follow after greed, and selfish ambitions , idols , fleshly desires ( homosexuality , adultery ) murdering , stealing, coveting,...

Donald Trump loves to entertain at his residence in Florida. The rich and famous are people with whom the ex-president loves to rub shoulders and let’s not forget, play golf. Normally, someone in Trump’s position know beforehand who he will be associating with before he hosts his guests at his Florida home. I think we all do that. The “old folks” used to tell us that one shouldn’t “have just anybody” showing up at our homes. The same is equally true in today’s climate. So, imagine Mr. Trump allowing rapper Kanye West to have dinner with him...
